Interest in private credit raises a question beyond headline yield: when can an investor recover capital, and at what value? Similar distributions can mask very different exit arrangements.
Periodic liquidity is different from daily trading
Interval funds, a type of closed-end fund, offer periodic repurchases rather than ordinary daily exchange trading. Offers are generally made every three, six or twelve months, as specified in the prospectus.
Each offer covers a limited portion of outstanding shares. Oversubscribed requests may be fulfilled proportionately, so a repurchase window does not guarantee that the full requested amount can be sold.
Three areas that matter
Investors need to assess borrower credit quality, the liquidity and valuation of underlying assets, and the fees and pricing arrangements for repurchases. These features vary by product; one fund’s terms should not be assumed to apply to every private credit vehicle.
Our analytical view: an absence of visible daily price swings does not establish low underlying risk. Exit terms should be compared with the investor’s cash requirements, alongside distribution rates.
What to review
Start with the prospectus, repurchase limits, valuation policy, leverage and fees. Comparing these terms with alternatives helps explain the compensation offered for accepting less liquidity.
